Q: Location Services stuck "on"
I am using 9.3.2 and cannot disable Locations Services. The toggle bar is greyed out. I have turned everything off or to "never" yet the Location Services toggle is still greyed out. Please advise me as to how I can turn it off.
Over the last few years I have continuously turned Location Services off and on. Previously I have never encountered any issue with turning main toggle off. Now it simply won't let me. I will be very grateful for whatever suggestions or advice you may have.
Steps I have taken:
Restarted the phone (multiple times)
Reset the privacy and location services settings
Manually turned off all the location services (except "Share my Location" under System Services is also greyed out and won't let me disable)
Checked restrictions (changes allowed)
Rebooted again
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.2

Did you check under System services? If you have wifi calling enabled or find my iPhone, then you will not be able to disable location services. You can turn off wifi calling in system services, but to disable find my iPhone you will also be prompted to enter your iCloud password. Note that this will not only disable remote device tracking, but will also cancel activation lock on that device.
